Testimonials

I cannot imagine a more effective legal counsel than Andy. She was frank, strategic, respectful, non-judgmental, and ALWAYS focused on my best interests. She demonstrated an expertise that filled me with confidence, and provided a surprising level of relative comfort that, with her at the helm, things were going to work out for the best. I felt protected and impeccably represented throughout the legal process, and my pain and embarrassment were remarkably less than I initially feared. In my goodbye to Andy, I told her that she represented the legal profession honorably…but I promised I wouldn’t tell anyone…well, I just did!

As a photographer, I sometimes find myself in tense situations. On May 1st, 2012, I was arrested while taking photos for Real Change during an Anti-Police Brutality march in downtown Seattle. My wife found Andy and she agreed to represent me. Falsely arrested for assault, I was extremely worried as to what this might do to my future. I knew I had a huge task ahead of me, proving the charges against me were false and that I was innocent. Andy’s knowledge of the law, her dedication to my case, and willingness to (very patiently) educate me on the process helped keep my spirits up. Her hard work paid off and the charges filed against me were dropped. I highly recommend her services if you ever find yourself in need of legal representation.

Andy represented me after I was charged with DUI and I cannot speak more highly of her abilities as an attorney. The outcome was a significantly reduced charge from DUI, I believe the most favorable outcome I could have hoped for. But in addition to this, she was very empathetic, responsive, available, and SO ON TOP OF IT! She explained technical matters very clearly and thoroughly and was also very informative about the politics of the process, which I appreciated. I felt like her ethical standards are extremely high and there was never any question about trusting her advice or her character. This is an immensely capable attorney, but also, a good person. You will be in very good hands if you have her represent you!

With my Merchant Marine career on the line, I needed the best in Seattle for help – Andrea Robertson represents just that. She is professional, informative, understanding and extremely passionate. Having an excellent lawyer on your side will ease your mind and smooth the entire process. I strongly recommend Andrea Robertson.

Andrea was excellent! I would recommend her to my family and friends. She worked very hard for me and walked me through every step of the process. You can be confident that you have good counsel when you hire Andrea.

I cannot express enough how impressive this attorney is. Andy conducts herself with the utmost integrity and professionalism, but also adds that additional personal element that is extremely rare. There is not another lawyer that has the grasp of the DUI facts, case history, etc. at the tip of their tongue. I presented Andy with a very difficult case – second DUI with a high BAC. After engaging Andy never once did I have second thoughts that I made the correct decision. She successfully navigated the frustrating Seattle court system like an expert – at some times making the prosecutor look like amateurs. On the eve of my DUI trial and after a relentless barrage from Andy, the prosecutor finally succumbed and agreed to a negligent driving plea.

Simply said, Andy is a star in the making.

There are many reasons why I would recommend Andy Robertson to someone. One of her many qualities that she brings into practice is her patience and talent for translating loads of legal jargon into terms that anyone can understand. When I was a client of Andy Robertson, I felt confident that I was being presented the complete options, possibilities and potential consequences of my case by an informed, intelligent and knowledgeable lawyer. If I ever did not understand my situation or had questions about my case, Andy Robertson’s response always came quickly, professionally and respectfully. I can not think of any area of service that Andy Robertson lacked in the least. I am extremely grateful to have received such excellent service. Thank you very very much Andy Robertson!

Words will never be enough to describe the respect and gratitude I have for Andy Robertson. My life was completely falling apart when I first met her after my 3rd DUI. I then got a 4th DUI a short time later. Long story short, I made some major changes in my life and did whatever it took to get myself turned around. Andy was at the epicenter of all of this. Not only did she represent what we all would hope for in an attorney – Trustworthy, Responsive, Knowledgeable, Effective presence in a court room, etc – but she is an even more amazing individual beyond her skills practicing law. Her integrity is second to none. With 4 DUIs on my record walking into my sentencing, you would expect a very harsh sentence from the judge. But, because Andy worked with me for months and stayed close to my situation, I walked in there prepared with the best attorney in Seattle on my side. After receiving only 1 day in jail, some community service and probation, I just about passed out from disbelief. Most importantly, my life looks 100% different today and I am truly free and happy. Andy is a major reason I get to enjoy the life I have today. I will forever be grateful for that experience and cherrish the new friend I made in the process. Thank you, Andy.

Andrea and her husband Ryan form a fantastic legal team. Throughout my legal ordeal, they were not only compassionate to my situation, but they were also forthcoming and honest with the legal implications I was facing. They were very objective and thorough, and well worth the price. The case ended in my favor.

I work in the legal industry, so finding a great attorney became even harder and quite frankly embarrassing given the charges I was facing. Ryan came very highly recommended to me by one of the best DUI attorneys in the state because of his compassion for clients and his ability to handle each case on its merits. At the time of my charge, my family and my life was falling apart, and I needed someone to understand the details. 
Not only was he compassionate, understanding, and professional, Ryan was very truthful with me when it came to a possible outcome/resolution of the case. The prosecutor was a beast that Ryan was able to somehow tame. 
No sugarcoating…however, he made sure that I took EVERY step to fulfill and surpass any and all standards and recommendations. Those steps helped the case, but more importantly helped me personally. What I viewed as a tragedy when it occurred, became one of the best things that happened to me because I realized the underlying problems in my life.
Every time I went to court and passed security, I was told by the court staff that I had the “best” attorney, and when he showed up, I could see he was well known, but more importantly, well respected.
While I hope I do not need his services in the future, I refer my client and collegues to Ryan’s firm…with amazing feedback…

Our son was charged with a DUI after a traffic stop for speeding. He was devastated, very scared and did not know what to do. We were referred to Ms. Robertson by another close friend who is also an attorney. She guided our son through the whole pre trial process with kindness, understanding and the utmost in knowledge and professionalism. Because of her representation, our son’s outcome prior to going to trial was the most favorable he could haved hoped to achieve. Ms. Robertson has the rare combination of excellent legal skills and compassion for the person she is representing. She deserves the highest recommendation possible.

Andy is very detailed, responsive, knowledgeable, professional yet understandable how hard the situation can be for defendant. She answered all questions, explained the process in details and very clear for the person who is completely unfamiliar with legal situations, reached complete dismissal of the case at pre-trial (case did not even go to trial). 
I would definitely recommend her service!

Andrea represented me in a DUI case. She is intelligent, she knows the system, and will not be intimidated in the courtroom.

Superb! Best describes Andy Robertson! When our Minor Teenager was facing Count 1 Residential Burglary & Count 2 Theft in the Second Degree we were terrified. We knew nothing about Criminal Law only that these charges could be with our teenager forever. The case itself was extremely difficult due the fact that several teenagers were involved and the detective work in our community was less than desirable, In a nutshell, the case was an absolute mess! We were referred to Andy from a friend who is an attorney. We found Andy to 
be professional and caring. She definitely delivers! Our teenager recieved a Deferred Disposition The Best We Could Hope For!! We woud highly recommend Andy Robertson.

I was the alleged victim in a no contact order violation case. The original DV charge in Olympia was rightfully dropped but that didn’t change the erroneous violation charge or subsequent new No Contact Order issued by Seattle. Andy appeared with me to request dropping of the NCO. Not only had she worked extensively with the presiding Judge she and the Judge had both worked with the same Olympia prosecutor who dropped the initial charges. With her assistance the NCO was dropped. A week later all charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. I’ve no doubt that Andy’s help contributed enormously to this happy outcome. Andy and her assistant treated me with compassion and made me feel that my case, though fairly small, was as important to them as any.

Andrea represented me recently for a speeding ticket in a school zone. I felt I was innocent but didn’t have a clue on how to defend myself besides just saying, “I didn’t do it.” I was blown away by Andrea’s professionalism and attention to keeping me informed during the process. Whenever I had a question (there were many) or needed something clarified she was incredibly quick to respond. I felt very well informed of all my legal options and how she was going to handle my defense. On my own I probably would have settled for a deferral but she was very confident which made me feel confident. I can’t say enough about how important that is. I trusted her completely. She had several approaches prepared for handling my defense. She told me I didn’t need to be present at my hearing but I wanted to see the process. I was glad I went. It’s awesome to watch professionals at work and Andrea had my case dismissed within three minutes of my name being called. I could not have not possibly done this on my own. If I’m ever in need of attorney services again I will certainly call Andrea and won’t hesitate to recommend her to any friend, acquaintance or family member who needs legal counsel.

Andy helped me win a DV defense case just in this month. It was a difficult case with long hearing proceedings and huge amount of testimonies, evidence and exhibits. I saw how hard Andy worked on this case, discussing with me and my family, collecting the evidence and testimonies, writing her declaration and speaking in court. She is very professional, intelligent and experienced — an outstanding and trustworthy attorney.

Andy was very professional, she gave me great confidence for my case and she delivered!

Three years ago I received a second DUI and the prosecutor was out for blood and wanted to see several months in jail. This was obviously unacceptable to me. Therefore at the referral of my business attorney and another attorney that I work with I called Andrea Robertson to discuss my case. To make a long story short, my case was reduced to Negligent Driving I and I served no jail time (also Neg 1 does not appear on your driving record). In addition to this, as a business owner of several different companies, I more recently came across an issue with my probation and needing to have the probation lifted. As this needed to happen in a rather short timeframe, Andy took extra time and rearranged her schedule to make sure that what I needed done got done. And it did. Andy is an excellent attorney.

Deciding to hire Ryan Robertson as my attorney is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

There are times in your life when you look back and wish you could do things differently. The circumstances that usually lead you to having to retain legal representation are not “good”. However intimidating, scary and uncertain going through a DUI is and can be, it can be much easier with good people on your side.

I would know as I have gone through the process several times, each time making the choice to have Ryan represent me.

However, my situation was made much easier through the legal representation, advice and support from Ryan. Always on time and on point. Not once did he sugar coat anything, always clear and concise on his thinking and methods. Professional and methodical at all times, calm cool and collected when it matters most.

Sometimes I wonder how things might have turned out if I had chosen another attorney, or worse, having to stand in front of a judge with a public defender or without any legal council.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to find out.

I have never felt more confident and taken care of as when having Ryan in my corner. Of course each case is situation specific, I truly believe that MY situation and outcome was the best thing that could have happened all things considered. Not once did I doubt his reasoning or actions. Discussing, at length, potential routes to go, well in advance, not minutes before your name is called.

The bad choices I made, which led me to need an attorney, were entirely my own fault. However, I am learning that you can learn from them and better your life. Making better choices leads to better results.The first step on that journey, is to hire a great attorney that will help you through it all. Through thick and thin I have had the support of family, friends, my employer and Ryan. Our relationship started out as a potential client needing an attorney to someone whom I now consider a friend.

If you want to hear first hand from an actual client, who was extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism, service and guidance of their attorney,I would be more than willing to talk to you.

Please contact the law office of Ryan Boyd Robertson, it will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.

When I came to Andy about my case I was at a complete loss as I had never needed the assistance of a lawyer before. Andy was very understanding from our first meeting, she walked me through the possibilities and I felt a lot better because she completely understands the situation and my preferences.

Since then, she had provided great guidence to me through the case, and her hard work made a big difference in how the case is resolved promptly and with minimal impact to our lives.

I’d highly recommend Andy as a very supportive and competent lawyer.

Ryan Robertson has been a blessing to Me as My Lawyer on DUI charges I have had in the past…He is an EXCELLENT Lawyer and the BEST to have on YOUR Side in My Opinion….aslo to be Honest, Ryan feels like a Friend that you can TRUST to do the VERY BEST on Your behalf…

Getting a DWI charge was one of the most terrifying and stressful experiences of my life; Andy helped to make my experience calm and well organized. She was actually recommended to my parents in North Carolina by their close friends, as an ‘in case anything bad ever happens in Seattle attorney’. I guess good word travels far and wide! She is very well versed in current law practices and is very knowledgeable of the Washington court systems.

During one of our hearings with the Dept of Motor Vehicles, I was amazed by her arguments, eluding confidence and utmost professionalism. She dissected the night in question, leaving the arresting officer without probable cause or jurisdiction.

Furthermore, I feel that her humbled, compassionate demeanor was a key player in my receiving a deferred sentencing with the court’s District Attorney. Although “allegedly” guilty, because of her expertise, I can now say that I do NOT have a DWI on my record!

Andy is bottom line, Better than the Best! I would strongly urge anyone who finds themselves in any criminal legal battles to put their trust in the hands of Mrs. Robertson! Good Luck to all!

I would first like to say that not only is this man the best lawyer I have ever had but he is a tremendous human being as well. Ryan took my case when I was at the lowest and darkest point of my life emotionally, spiritually and financially. I have been a professional firefighter for 15 years and am also a recovering alcoholic with over 2 years of sobriety. I had literally lost everything due to my drinking and was also placed on an unpaid LOA from the department at the time when these charges occured. He showed a compassion for myself and my family unlike any attorney I had ever had before and agreed to take my case when all seemed lost for me and reassured me and my family every step of the way. The positive impact he had on me I still carry with me today and he was absolutely a shining star through the whole process both in the courtroom and out.

I was at the darkest and lowest point of my entire life and he helped me to believe in myself and supported my recovery process and my sobriety 100 percent, I felt he truly cared not just as a lawyer professionally but personally as well which I have never experienced with my previous lawyers.

The dark days are now behind me as I am now fully reinstated and have been back working with the department for over a year and a half now as the felony charge was inaccurate and he was able to discern fact from fiction in the courtroom and provide the truth about what happened that fateful day.

I finially took full responsibility for my drinking problem and continue to take my life in sobriety one day at a time still and remain close to the program which has saved my life and restored my career and my family.
If it wasnt for Ryans support and strength at that time I truly believe I would not be where I am at today. He not only saved me legally; but he also helped save my life.

Ryan Robertson is more than just a good lawyer he is a compasionate; caring famliy man who cares about his clients.

I am honored to have had the oppportunity to have this man represent me and would recommend Ryan to anyone who wishes to have the best legal representaion humanly possible; he truly is the best.
I am honored to be able to provide this review for him.

Ryan was recommended to me by a friend who was using him to represent him on his DUI case, they had more than one offense pending. I met Ryan and was very impressed with his professionalism. I hired him and was very pleased with the results. I received a deferred sentence, no jail time and no meetings of any kind. I finished my deferred sentence this summer and had my sentencing. The DUI was reduced and I am now free of this on my records. I would recommend Ryan to anyone in the same predictament I found myself in.

I very happy now,because of THE BEST LOWER in my life ANDREA K. ROBERTSON! She is Very Special in her hard job,but, she give a lots of happiness to people like me. I will recommended Andrea to all my friends ho will need a real help in their cases! Thank You A.K.R Arthur.

I recommend Andrea as a great lawyer to anyone searching for a knowledgeable, professional, confident and dedicated attorney. After our first meeting I was confident she would represent me well and have my best interests at heart. Throughout the process she always kept me informed on my case and I could not have been more happy with my outcome. I am very thankful for Andrea and recommend her services to everyone.

This was my first (and last) DUI. In fact I had never been in trouble with the law ever before. I was petrified and knew my attorney selection was the most important decision I would make. I met with multiple top ranked DUI defense attorneys in the area and selected Andrea not only because of her extensive background with DUI’s, but because she would be personally involved in my case from beginning to end.

She took the time to listen to my situation, and made several early recommendations that would later result in a favorable sentence. Throughout the process she believed in me, kept me informed of all the details surrounding my case, and remained positive. Her strategy was sound, and in the end, her hard work led to a differed sentence – recommended by the prosecuting attorney!

I could have not asked for a better attorney in my corner, and would recommend Andrea to anyone unfortunate enough to find themselves in my situation in the future.

I have made acquaintance with some of the most effective criminal defense attorneys from my home state of Utah and sat through many trials as an observer. When it came time to enlist representation in a very serious legal matter of my own, I had high expectations.

From the very beginning, Ms. Robertson paid great attention to every detail of my case. She is well connected in the legal community in Seattle, which was used to my advantage in orchestrating a sophisticated legal strategy.

I decided to take my case to trial facing the possibility of a severe sentence if I lost. I trusted the legal expertise and trial savy of Ms. Robertson. Ultimately, the trial was dismissed on the exhaustively researched and artfully presented legal argument made by my attorney in pre-trial hearings.

I have my life back and I owe it to my attorney. I would fully recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic criminal defense attorney.

Andy Robertson was absolutely wonderful to work with. When I came to her with my case, I had never needed the assistance of an attorney before. She walked me through every process and answered all of my questions honestly and with complete understanding. She had a way of putting everything into a context that I understood and helped me identify the best approach to defend my case.

Her confidence in every detail of my case was comforting, as she always had an answer for how to defend or respond to a specific portion of my case. Her knowledge on the legal system and how to protect her clients is without limits. I can’t express enough appreciation for her.

Even after my case was closed, she was extremely helpful with any follow-up questions I had. I never felt alone in my case when dealing with Andy. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone needing an exceptional attorney.

Attorney Andrea Robertson is one best lawyers I have ever encountered! After quite an ordeal, Andy was there to guide me and legally advise me throughtout my whole legal process.. she was always available to take my calls and keep me updated on the in’s and out’s of my case and on top of everything, which made things for me less stressful and complicated. Andy took care of me right from the beginning…….

I would recommend Andrea Robertson to my closest friends and family.

Having to go through the process of dealing with DUI or any criminal conviction can be scary. The courts come at you fast and furious. If you don’t know what you are up against then you can find yourself confused.

Andy is professional, kind, and very respectful. She takes time to thoroughly explain the judicial system and leaves nothing to speculation. If this is your first time needing an attorney she is perfect. Through my experience she made sure to explain each step of the process and made sure that I understood clearly what my rights were. I never felt misled. She is patient and quick to respond to you when questions come up. She is helpful and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure you are getting the best treatment available. I would recommend Andy to any one of my friends, family and coworkers…

Andy was recommended by an attorney I trust, who did not handle the type of case for which I sought help. This case involved my adult daughter, who suffers from paranoia. To my knowledge, Andy has no training in medicine but she did an absolutely outstanding job of handling our case despite this additional challenge. Not only did she properly defend my daughter’s interest, she communicated beautifully with her … and me. Hopefully, I will not require her services again but if I do, I would immediately seek her help.

I was referred to Andrea from a friend who knew her. I was scared as this was my first DUI and she was very comforting and straight forward. I went for my first meeting with her to see if she would take the case and she met with me for close to 2 hours, which really surprised me since time is money for a lawyer. She suggested me to my treatment clinic, which I can tell you from talking to others, is the best and a God-Send. She definitely knows the ends and outs of DUI lawyering. I have spoken to others who have gotten a DUI and the disaster is ongoing even 3 years after the fact. Andrea told me what to do right away and gave me homework. I chose to follow that homework and it really paid off when we went to court. I was so well prepared that it seemed like the judge was more than impressed. She also seemed to have a very good reputation with the judge and that in itself with all the homework I did upfront did an enormous amount to make my court day a very good day. She really made an effort to make sure that I was well informed of my rights and what I was getting myself into with my choices and how she could help and benefit me. I have always been terrified of ever needing a lawyer and generally had a poor opinion of them and she has certainly changed that opinion for me now. I would recommend her to anyone who needs this specialty of DUI laywering.

I have a quite of history of DUIs. I went to court today and was amazed at the resulting outcome. Andrea is the best lawyer ever, she is very organized, very detail oriented, always prepared, always arrives early on court days, very SWEET and HONEST person. I was in a situation where I had another lawyer represent me at first, but was very unsatisfied with the progress in my case, so I hired Andrea to represent me. Within a short period of time, everything was resolved, I didn’t have to spend a single day in jail and the plea deal I received was beyond imaginably good. Andrea has worked very hard, stayed on top of things, always contacting me as well as being always available to assist me, and because of her, I can continue on with my life and not give up my hopes and dreams in life. If you are in need of a lawyer, I would recommend everyone to meet Andrea, and I guarantee you won’t regret.
